KCON is the world's largest K-Festival, where fans and artists come together to celebrate everything Korean, from music and beauty to food, story and lifestyle. Since launching in 2012, it has been leading the expansion of K-culture across the globe for 14 years and broadened its reach, holding KCON in 14 regions across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. This year's festival will embrace the theme: "K-SOUL CITY," inspired by the energy, creativity, and spirit of Seoul.

In recognition of KCON’s cultural, social and economic contributions, the City of Los Angeles officially designated August 1, 2025 as “KCON Day.” KCON has established its footing as a flagship event, providing the largest forum for fans to directly connect with each other, artists and professionals from the Korean entertainment industry.
